Favourite Music: Producers like T.E.E.D, Bonobo and Ta-Ku when chilling, bands like The Smiths and Blink-182 on road trips in the team van and some Rap or big Dutch house music to get pumped up before races.

If you could race any cyclist (dead or alive) who would it be and what discipline: Eric Vanderaeden in Het volk

Toughest race you’ve done and why: I remember Gastown GP in Vancouver being tough this year, I’d dug myself into a little hole through traveling so was full gas to stay in the wheels.

What cycling accomplishment are you most proud of? Winning in Belgium with family and friends watching will always be special memory.
